Absolutely fantastic recipe. Easy to make and doesn't make a mess of the kitchen. Just signed up for an account to rate this. Changes I made : Added garlic paste instead of chopped garlic, added a touch of cayenne pepper and people who want little more sweeter chicken can add a tsp of sugar too. I used chicken wings and it was amazingly good. Thanks for this recipe :)

This was super easy and delicious! I sauteed broccoli and mushrooms in the same sauce and served with vermicelli. The result was fantastic! I wonder if anybody can recommend me one or two good side dishes that go well with this meal.

EXCEPTIONAL recipe! I cook a lot of ethnic food with a focus on authentic indigenous flavors, and I can testify that this dish is completely irresistible, simple and carefree and so perfectly Malaysian - a blend of multicultural tastes that is unique and amazing. you know that dish on Chinese buffets advertised as "smoked" chicken chunks that have a savory, sweet, slightly-sticky delicious brownness without a glaze or sauce? this is quite reminiscent of that recipe. I cut boneless chicken breasts into large chunks and put it in the marinade (and forgot it) in a bag in the fridge for 2 days, and it *still* came out moist, tender and with an amazing flavor that was smokey, sweet, exotic and aromatic. I agree that you should do this on a day you can open your windows as the smoking curry in the marinade when it cooks in the oil can be strong (although the taste of the chicken does not come out with a strong curry flavor). Tip: you can set out a bowl of white vinegar which will dissipate the odor in a couple hours. I do agree this should be pan-fried for crispness on the outside, but be careful of the oil and heat being too high or the chicken can char easily. served this with jasmine rice, salad and some fresh fruit (mango and pineapple with calamansi/honey/ginger dressing) and it was superb! Terima kasih to you and your mother, Saadiah!

This was a tasty and unusual twist on fried chicken. I loved the fact that the chicken is not breaded. Be sure not to get the oil too hot, or it will darken the chicken to where it almost looks black. I marinated the chicken overnight in the oyster sauce, curry, garlic mixture for more flavor.

Really liked it although I tweaked it just a bit. I didn't feel like cutting all the garlic, so I used a garlic,ginger, chili paste we had made a few weeks ago to preserve our garden chilis. Turned out really well with a little kick to it. The only thing I didn't like was you had to watch closely as the oyster sauce would caramalize and burn while frying.

this is one easy and delicious recipe. My sister and I loved it and we will be adding it to our favorites. The only thing i changed was I used 3 tbsp of soy sauce and 1 1/2 tbsp hoisin sauce.. (the only reason was because i didnt have oyster sauce on hand) It still turned out great! we'll be making this again and again.. next time i'll try to use oyster sauce. Thank you so much for sharing this easy breezy recipe.. :D
